Escobar added that he’s excited at the prospect of playing with superstars Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout and the rest of an Angels team that is in the thick of the race for a playoff spot.
“To be around the best players, it’s unbelievable,” said Escobar, who is joining his sixth team over a 13-year career that included a NL All-Star selection in 2021. “I’ve been around a lot of players. But with Trout, Ohtani, it’s different now. I want to respect all the other players I’ve played with — Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, those guys were really good. But playing with these guys now, for me, it’s just unbelievable.
Fletcher summed up his feelings about being back with the Angels with these simple words: “I’m happy to be here.”First base has been one of the most unsettled positions for the Angels this season, and the team tried a new direction on Saturday by giving outfielder Hunter Renfroe his first start of the season at first.
Primarily an outfielder, Renfroe has seen some time at first base, though it has been rare. He has played a total of 10 innings at first over his eight-year career heading into Saturday’s game, which marked only his second career start at the position.
